Flagey - Studio 5

During and after the civil war in the Congo, thousands of women were raped by the warring parties. This encounter with some of the women concerned, doctors who treated them and rapist soldiers reflects the sensitive approach of a filmmaker who was herself a victim of a gang rape in her own country.
